The options we’re looking at for Postgres hosting are Compose.io and AWS RDS. Anyone have experience with either and how they compare?
Any other options to look at?

compose.io:Is this for real? 20gb worth of DB would cost you $245.50, and gets you 2gb of ram. AWS at that price is $51.84 /mo for an instance with equivalent ram, and (20*0.1) = 2 dollars a month for the 20gb for a grand total of $53.84.
Compose.io’s slider doesn’t even go above 100gb.
I can’t speak for compose.io, but RDS has been easy to use for us. Daily backups, multi availability zone etc.

To be honest all hosted offerings are a bit of a joke, RDS 30,000 IOPS for some ungodly amount of money that’s 1/2 of the performance of single low end SSD drive and 1/20 the performance of a decent PCI-E SSD.

Sure, but at the same time it’s cheaper than a dedicated dev ops person, and you can’t screw it up as badly.
